As the Tethys races toward Planet Gateway in response to a distress call, I can only hope that we are not too late. Lieutenant Brown assures me that we can maintain our current speed long enough to reach Planet Gateway, but, in light of the uncertainty of what we might find, I have ordered all hands to battle stations. The science station was unable to get much off before the signal was jammed at the source. We are dealing with an unknown assailant and an unknown situation. The only question on my mind is: What will we find when we get there?
